A message from SUSK’s president Our President, Roman Grod.
* * * Вітаю! Welcome to SUSK’s first issue of 2021. SUSK was sure to hit the ground running this year when we brought together clubs from across the country for our first
ever virtual koliada. Our talented executive continues to create more virtual content and bring together clubs and leaders from all over the country to ensure we are working together for the
prosperity of our community. Thank you to all our members and executives that continue to be successful and forward-thinking even during these difficult times. In the last 67 years, SUSK
has accomplished a lot, and I am highly optimistic about our future and the difference that SUSK will be able to make. I look forward in seeing more participation through our various advocacy campaigns and events that we have planned throughout 2021. When looking forward it is always good to look back and reflect on the past. We hope that you enjoy this issue as we look back to some Zabava’s preCOVID-19. We are only as strong as our USOs and we hope to continue to see them thrive even in this virtual environment. All the best! Всього найкращого! – Roman Grod
